What is actually required
The visa exemption allows stays of up to 30 days, but the Philippines moved to electronic pre-registration of arrivals. The authorization attaches to your passport and flight, and is filed in the days before arrival — not months ahead.
What to prepare
1A passport valid at least six months from entry.
2An onward ticket — checked at the airline desk and on arrival, and the most common reason people are refused boarding.
3Your first address in the Philippines.
4Exact flight details.
What it costs
The fee is around ILS 60 per traveller. With Visale the all-in price is ILS 149 per traveller, including accurate completion, a check and filing — with the details confirmed against your ticket.
Common mistakes
- No onward ticket — Airlines will not board you without proof you are leaving.
- Staying beyond 30 days — An extension at a local immigration office is needed — plan it in advance.
- Flight details that do not match — The authorization is tied to the flight; a change means an update.
- Forgetting children — Every traveller needs their own.
